Synopsis

This classic of silent cinema plunges the viewer into the stylish, heady world of Jazz Age London. Silver screen goddess Anna May Wong (the first Asian-American movie star and one of the first non-white actors to gain international fame) stars as Shoso, a scullery maid working in nightclub who catches the owner's eye and rises to become the toast of fashionable London society. Shosho's newfound fortune doesn't come without its complications, though, as she finds herself drawn into a web of envy, desire and murder.
